 'make release' doesn't work for PPC yet, so it's not really possible
to build an ISO without a lot of manual effort.

 That being said, it's all moot if the loader doesn't work. What I'd suggest
is trying to boot the FreeBSD loader from the IBM's open firmware prompt. I have no
idea how to do that, so I guess it's worth scanning Linux archives.

 OK, that should at least give you a start wrt to how to bootstrap the system.

later,

Peter.
